Quotable Quotes – Henry Ward Beecher on Manhood
An acorn is not an oak tree when it is sprouted. It must go through long summers and fierce winters; it has to endure all that frost, and snow, and thunder, and storm, and side striking winds can bring, before it is a full grown oak. These are rough teachers; but rugged schoolmasters make rugged [...]
Quotable Quotes – Theodore Roosevelt, The Man in the Arena
“It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and [...]
Quotable Quotes – Steve Lemke, Does Human Choice Contribute Anything to Salvation?
“[I]n and of themselves, people’s choices accomplish nothing. Perhaps the best model is the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5. Naaman, the commander of the Aramite army, had leprosy. He asked for help.

Quotable Quotes – Ben Henshaw on Spiritual Death
“[T]he very passages that speak of being “dead in sin” make it clear that the solution is to be joined to Christ, the source of spiritual life (John 5:26, Cf., Col. 2:11-13; Eph. 2:4-9). This confirms that the phrase makes reference not to the inability of a physical corpse (to see, hear, believe, etc.), but to the absence [...]

Quotable Quotes – The Stumbling Block for Calvinists
“All Calvinists, whether they be Presbyterian or Reformed, Primitive Baptist or Sovereign Grace Baptist; all Calvinists, whether they be premillennial or amillennial, dispensational or covenant theologist; all Calvinists, whether they go by the name or not; all Calvinists have one thing in common: God, by a sovereign, eternal, decree, has determined before the foundation of [...]
Quotable Quotes – Norman Geisler on Extreme Calvinism and Blaming God for Evil
“Not only does extreme Calvinism tend to undermine personal responsibility, it also logically lays the blame squarely on God for the origin of evil.

Quotable Quotes – Richard Baxter, If Christ Died For All, Why Are All Not Saved?
“It is… proved by the sufferings of his Son, that God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Would he have ransomed them from death at so dear a rate? Would he have astonished angels and men by his condescension; would God have dwelt in the flesh, and come in the form of [...]
Quotable Quotes – Richard Baxter on the Wrath of God
“God is not a man, that thou shouldst trifle and play with him… ‘Be not deceived, God will not be mocked.’ [Gal. 6:7] Whosoever else be mocked God will not; you had better play with the fire among gunpowder than with the fire of his burning wrath.” Richard Baxter, The Practical Works of Richard Baxter, [...]
Quotable Quotes – Tozer on Being Ourselves
“We should thank God for giving us our own individual personalities and temperaments and abilities.
